Red Sprite Winterberry is a hardy dwarf deciduous shrub with rounded upright habit and glossy green leaves without fall color.  If pollinated, the dull white summer flowers will give way to profuse clusters of red berries that last into winter.  Best planted in moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils.
